Residents and business houses at the gold mine township of Bulolo, Morobe Province were terrified over the murder of an innocent by-stander in the heart of the town last Thursday. This is because the alleged murder was among overwhelming alcohol related issues raised by residents and locals from the town in recent times. The incident happened a week after a unaninous decision passed by the Bulolo administration, political leaders and the business communities for a liquor ban in the district. Police reported a bystander from the Garaina area in the Waria local level government was murdered by two youths who were allegedly under the influence of alcohol at the main market around 11pm. Police said the alleged suspects confronted the victim and stabbed all parts of his body with knives they had in their possession.
